I dunno when I’ll get my hands on an Xbox again, I pray Microsoft will bring the campaigns at least to fucking pc, all of them. maybe in another ten years lol God, imagine if we got a good port of Halo 2 instead of the half assed thing we have. I recall reading a SPV Halo 2 would be impossible because they don't have the tools due to microsoft not releasing them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From the books to games. Imagine playing a marine in the book version of Halo CE, Halo: The Flood. To non Spartans, this is what the Halo Universe really is. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also my original bulky 2007 xbox 360 had the launch trailer for Halo Wars, that is also a fantastic scene even if the Sangheili look a little off.

ColonelKillaBee Posted February 17, 2018 Author Share Posted February 17, 2018 Meh nah that’s just them selling their game. I don’t think anyone can take on three Spartans lorewise short of Chief himself.

If you've seen the Designers Commentary on Halo 2, this cutscene as cool as it is was to replace an even cooler level. You'd play as Chief with the level ending like what we'd saw.

And LOL Atriox and the Banished (his splinter group) we're able to hold their own against the Coveant during the war. He didn't win fairly. He ambushed the Spartans, and completley overwhelmed them with superior strength and speed, before they could even react. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mmmh, when it was shown I was skeptical to say the least. It didn't feel quite so faithful to the older stuff, hell even the books prior (I stopped at Mortal Didacta) to Halo Wars 2 made it seem like the Covenant's only real enemy was mankind at that point and while they had past confrontations with the Flood before Halo 2. Adding a splinter faction that managed to hold back the covenant and was partially the reason mankind survived felt kinda cheap. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColonelKillaBee Posted February 17, 2018 Author Share Posted February 17, 2018 Nothing is cooler than master chief destroying a covenant supercarrier by his fucking self, and flying through space to do it.

Well hold off is not the right word...they basically hid and waged guerrilla war against both the UNSC and Coveant, doing raids to get supplies and disappearing as soon as it happened. Still pretty impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheCzarsHussar Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 Speaking of which, after reading Contact Harvest did anyone else wonder what kind of universe Halo would have been had the old Hierarchs maintained their position and tried to assimilate Humanity into the Covenant instead of wipe them out? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColonelKillaBee Posted February 17, 2018 Author Share Posted February 17, 2018 They’d probably still go to war anyway because while some of us are perfectly fine getting bent by tools in fancy robes, the rest of us are too stubborn and rebellious and would rather shove their energy swords up their xeno asses. 1 "Even the hardest dick must go flaccid." -Colonelkillabee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh no doubt there'd be war, I can't see the UNSC submitting without a fight. But in regular continuity they tried to work out a peaceful negotiation aka surrender but all attempts at even contact failed. I think it'd be a cool alternate serious of the old outer colonies holding their Insurrectionist beliefs and motives refusing assimilation into the Covenant.

BigBossBalrog Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 I believe alot of Elites we're confused the Prophets weren't offering humanity membership in the Covenant. After the Grunt Rebellion, and how the Ungoy we're able to hold their own with sheer fercoity and determination, the Elites, impressed, decided to give them proper training, actual weapons, and better rights.

They had fucking Tartarus’ clan involved in the first contact and early interactions. That shit was doomed from the start.

The Good Doctor Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 Speaking of Contact Harvest, one of my favorite little details to come out of that book was the revelation that Brute Choppers were designed after modified human tractors that they stole on that planet. Explains why they’re the only Covenant vehicle to use wheels, and why it has a much more human aesthetic than all the rest. 1 It's always nice when your writing gets reinforced by the canon after you come up with it.

It’s been years since I read it, but I think I recall the first one literally just being a tractor that one of the brutes (Tartarus, maybe?) basically squeezed into and slapped his spike gun onto the side of.
